Graeme Souness will NOT be returning to Ibrox as Rangers sporting director or fronting a takeover, according to a report.
But the Light Blues legend DID meet with Rangers top brass “to discuss working together in future”. Speculation has gone into overdrive that Souness was on the brink of a return to the club on some capacity. The rumours ranged from a takeover to filling the sporting director role vacated by Ross Wilson’s recent exit to Nottingham Forest.
The 70-year-old sparked a revolution at the club when he was appointed player-manager in 1986 and last month’s stepping down from his role with Sky Sports has seen talk of a potential return to Govan which has intensified in recent days. But talk of Souness succeeding Wilson or attempting a club buyout – having failed in his bid alongside businessman Brian Kennedy in 2012 – has been cooled. The Heart & Hand Rangers podcast tweeted: “Souness Rumours – he’s not fronting a takeover (there is no takeover) and not joining as a DoF or anything like that.
